Same with me and my woman. No kids, but four cats. And they mean everything to us. We were down to one cat two years ago when our big Ragamuffin passed away. So heartbroken, we immediately decided to get another. That turned into 3 when we saw a pair of kittens up for adoption at the local shelter. We both go through the same emotions you feel for you oldest cat with our oldest girl. Best not to think about it. Great post. Same with me and my woman. No kids, but four cats.

If you don't know the song, well, here ya go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5v5jviTEOaw Neko Case and Marianne Faithfull have both done excellent covers of it, too.

I've been feeling this myself as I get older and my parents get older and my brothers get older and... everyone gets older. :) Last night, I actually was pretty close to what you described in your post. Life's tough man. But, like you said, you just have to appreciate the moment. We've lost two long time family pets in my life (both cats) and they rank up among my saddest days, right alongside losing my grandfather. I'm starting to tear up as I write this, so thanks for that. lol. Patrick Beautiful post, Alex.

I'm a dog guy, and my boy Ace who we adopted in May brings so much joy, and affection to our family. I'm sure he sometimes thinks of himself as the fourth son, while they look at him as the funny brother who gets away with shit they'd never get away with. lucky cats to have a couple lucky cats looking after them, and loving them like that.

Got two dogs of my own and they are my kids. #1 was born without a left foreleg, and had to have a rod installed in the right foreleg. So even though he loves going to the park, he can't walk very far. Sometimes when he gets tired he'll stand up on his back legs and reach up in a perfect "carry me daddy, I'm tired" pose.
